Can't sleep tonight
Pondering those angel eyes
They've cried so much
Blotting out the fantasy I had in mind
Don't have the time
Still I create these things as I move along
Love can be strong
If you're pulling the strings yourself
When it all goes
When it all goes down.
Everything's dark, I dream of you serving me
Waitress, on the side, some fake romance please
A token of shared company
My mind was lucid, it said "go in for the kill"
It's much worse when I'm awake
The pictures get me my fill
When I dream, I relax and picture piercing icicle eyes
One pair too young
The other too occupied
For a vapid, toothless smile
They've borne more in this life
Than I could even touch
Blink, they're gone, now don't think too much

There's nothing I can do
I won't stop yearning for you
Though if you see me now
I could be mistaken
For anyone
They'll just let me lie here
Have to make my mark but can't seem to trace it dark
Like everything wants me to
When will judgement come I cannot know
But I feel in the crisp way the wind blows
All around your snowy face
Will I ever see you smile, honey?
Old flames
Trying to drain me of the love I had
No one ever wants to see it plainly!
But I think that's mainly
Well and good

C.W. Franz recommends:
Put Your Trust In Scum

Combines angst with every acoustic genre under the sun. OK, maybe not every genre, but its still a damn good record.

a dead thing
by pervert princess
Brutally honest yet beautiful, tackling sexuality with a disarming lo-fi aesthetic.

unbearably light
by chameleon hex
Literate and introspective. Of course, the trippiness doesn't hurt either.
